Apple TV for Netflix only

Hello!
I have a 1996 iMac (1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 2 Gigabytes of memory) running Tiger 10.4.6. An Airport Express provides WiFi.
I understand that Apple TV2 is not compatible with this OS X. However, I just want to play movies from Netflix on my television set with Apple TV2. Is it doable without having to upgrade to Snow Leopard or buying a latest Mac?
Thank you for your help.

  • New Apple battery for macbook only lasting half as long as my old battery.

    I'm having a bit of trouble here. Last month a family member needed to leave on an emergency trip but was having battery problems and didn't have time to get a new battery before catching her flight, so I gave her mine and a day or two later went to the apple store and bought a new OEM apple battery for myself. I believe that the old battery had around 80-90% left in its life and performance from the way it would act. Unfortunately this new battery would not interface with the computer at first. I followed the apple page battery troubleshooting recommendations and ended up resetting my power service manager (sorry if I'm butchering the name here) by removing the power sources and holding the power button for 5 seconds. It fixed the interface problems and the computer now recognizes the battery just fine. However, the battery life on this new battery is pretty poor. I only get about 60 minutes of youtube video watching out of it before its done (no other applications running), or about 100 minutes of general non-streaming use. My old battery was at least double this, if not more. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look next? Here is some battery information that might help:
    Model Information:
    Manufacturer: DP
    Device name: ASMB016
    Pack Lot Code: 0002
    PCB Lot Code: 0000
    Firmware Version: 0110
    Hardware Revision: 0500
    Cell Revision: 0200
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 626
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: No
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4935
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 9
    Condition: Normal
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): -1437
    Voltage (mV): 10860
    Many thanks if anyone has an idea what I should do to help fix this. My Macbook has been great other than this one issue.

    Have you tried calibrating your battery?

  • How do I turn on closed caption on my apple tv for netflix

  • How to change an apple ID for iCloud only.

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my kids iPods before Christmas morning.  I want their iPhones to have their own apple ID's for iCloud so we don't sync contacts, etc.  I want us to still share an ID for iTunes, which is set up.  Here is the question:
    Do I just.....Go into iCloud on the iPod and press "delete this account" and set up a new iCloud account? 
    Is it that simple, or will "deleting this account" delete the iCloud account associated with that apple ID on ALL devices including my IPad and IPhone?
    To be clear, I currently have the same apple ID for store and iCloud on all four devices.  All I want to do is for two iPods to have new, separate apple ID's for iCloud, without compromising the iCloud account on my iPhone and iPad.  I hope I can.....otherwise I have to take all of these devices back lol!
    Thanks.....

    Answer to my own question in case anyone else is wondering:
    If you have an iCloud account on a device and you would like to have your apple ID changed ....just go to settings>iCloud>delete this account....and then you can make a new iCloud account with a new apple ID for just that device!  This way you can have one apple ID shared for iTunes in order to share purchases, and then everyone can have their own iCloud account in order to keep messages, contacts, etc separate and personal. 

  • How do you change the language of the apple tv for netflix

    How do you change the language of Netflix in apple tv?

    Ok, I figured out whats the problem. I configured Netflix on my smart TV (LG 47LW6500) and gives me the option to choose audio and subtitles. Then configured my preference on the Netflix web page and set default audio to english. And it is actually working with an exception, the default audio will be english unless there is an other language that has better audio, for example, if the movie has 3 languages English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (Stereo) english will be default, but if the theres a case were 1 of the languages is not stereo but better, as 5.1 Dolby, the better audio will be automatically selected as default, for example if English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (5.1 Dolby), then the movie will play in Portuguese, no matter what your default preference is.
    There is no way to fix this, because the ATV does not give the option to change the audio language on Netflix (It does on iTunes), and and Netflix App is omitting the web page preferences and the ATV preferences. Basically is and App problem, I don't know who developed the App, but the problem is definitely the app, that has not implemented all of the options the API allows.

  • HT5622 Turned on Apple TV for Netflix.  Message said Netflix was disabled on this TV.   Didn't say

    Message when I turned on Apple TV/Netflix said Netflix "may" be disabled on this unit.    Looked at my account and I am paid up to Oct 17.
    What can I do to get Netflix?

    Have you tried running an ethernet cable from your router to your ATV? (this is what most Apple techs will ask you to do)

  • Why do the apple chargers for iPhones only last a month ... I'm tired of buying chargers for three apple products in my home

    Why do the iphone chargers stop working after a month of use I'm so tired of buying chargers for  supposedly the best products "APPLE" I'm getting really disturbed by it and ready to stop buying apple products 

    I'm not trying to start a fight, but perhaps it is how you are using them?  They are somewhat delicate, but if inserted and removed properly, and not overly stressed when in use, they last.  I have several that are over a year old with no problems, and I remove them daily.
    Most failures are caused by either pulling the lightning cable by the cable instead of the connector, or strain (force) at the cable terminator.  If your cables are failing that often, it may be you need to rethink when and how to use them.
    **As a point of clarification:  Are you speaking of the lightning cable?  or the charging block that plugs into the wall?**

  • Apple TV and Netflix glitch

    When using Apple Tv for Netflix the closed caption (words on bottom of screen appear) How do you turn this feature off. It is very distracting.
    Thank you

    Usually around 15Mbps but just did a speediest on my iPad and it seems to be down to 6.28Mbps but that is wireless, Apple Tv is hardwired so it's connection is even higher.

  • TS5150 With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    Are you using a stereo receiver or surround sound system for the audio by chance.  What you are describing sounds like a receiver that is not setup correctly, or does not have the speakers connected to it correctly to support Dolby surround, 5.1 or 7.1.  Which is why it is only happening on some content.  It would only be on the ones that are encoded to support Dolby audio.

  • Just set up our Apple TV and it works fine for NetFlix.  However want to stream photos and I Tune library from home computer but this computer accesses the internet thru a VPR at my wife's place of enployment. Other than a 2nd computer any suggestions?R

    Just set up Apple TV on home network. Works fine for NetFlix but we can't stream I Tune libruary or digital photos thru it to our home TV as because of my wife's work we bypass COX and access the internet thru a VPN offered by her employer.  Was told we either have to buy a second computer (two expensive for just these two functions) or keep turning on and off the VPN(not practical). Any other ideas? Thanks

    Does she need to access the internet through her employer, or is she just trying to access her internal network at work?
    If it's the latter, split-stream VPN clients (like Cisco AnyConnect) will split traffic so that only that directed at a particlar domain gets tunneled. 
    I have an AnyConnect client at home, but I normally only activate it when I'm using it, so I've never tested it with HomeSharing.  I'm currently traveling, but when I get home tomorrow, I'll try it out and let you know if it works.  If it does, your wife can check with her employer to see if she can configure AnyConnect to work with them.

  • I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's  Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone?

    I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
    Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
    Best of luck.

  • Airplay only works for Netflix

    I'm using an iPad Air running iso 8.1.2. I can watch Netflix using airplay but can't show anything else. Apple online support indicates I need to turn on mirroring, but I can't find the switch, their example shows mirroring in iso 7 on a phone and doesn't help. My objective is to show a Numbers spreadsheet using airplay during a meeting. Can you help?

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

    I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
    It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

    Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
    http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
    The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link,  it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.
